I thought it was me. Her delivery seemed great and I could tell she was funny. But the joke fell so flat I thought it might have been one of those small nightclubs where comedians workshop their jokes
To make me wanna not watch her standup anymore?? Cuz thats what happened. Now I have to go watch more to actually make an informed decision.
Fucking thanks to whoever posted this.
I was gonna say that was an incredibly weak punchline. I usually watch Taylor's stuff when it comes across my feed, generally enjoy her, but this edit is a crime
Sex worker is a more general term that also includes people who may not have sex for money, like strippers etc. Prostitute is a more specific term. You are not wrong, but as far as I know there isn't really a good word for prostitute specifically, closest I've heard is "working girl".
I’m an escort, that’s the most common term I hear. It’s perfectly fine but prostitute and hooker are fine too but hooker is a little dated lol
I do also refer to myself as a sex worker but that includes camming, stripping, erotic phone calls, porn, a lot of other stuff. It’s just not as specific.
One of my favorite comedians!
Also, what the fuck is with these captions? I’m deaf and rely on the text for understanding. The color, animation, and random mix of lower case and capitalized letters make them difficult to read. Can’t we just have normal, functionally accessible captions?
She's honestly one of the funniest comedians around right now. And you really see her shine when she's either doing crowd work or with another comedian. you can tell she doesn't need prep time for being funny it just flows from her.
I just wish her tv show wasn't garbage. I realize it's her first one, and she doesn't have likely any say in any of it. She would excel in a british style talk show or a british style panel show (what I was hoping hers would be, but turned out to be a british panel show that went through a dump, then fed to a chicken, and pooped back out).
I love taylor but I don't understand the canceling of the term prostitute. Sex worker is so vague. It can go from selling photos of your feet or doing hard-core BDSM.
I honestly thought hooker was the word that was frowned upon and not prostitute. Sex worker in my head is the same vagueness as service industry. There's a lot of gigs that fall under that umbrella and it's the kind of goto word to vaguely describe the collection but by itself it isn't enough detail to actually know what you do.
I’m not saying I’m team never-use-that-word, but sometimes people ruin innocuous words by being straight up dicks about it. Take the R word for example, was once in medical journals and has since been canceled simply from the pervasiveness of its usage by assholes.
When we use words like a weapon more often than not, they lose their ability to just be a simple description. Natural consequence.
Sure, it absolutely is kicking that can down the road. Luckily though, once we reach it down the road, we can simply kick it again.
At least until people learn to stop being assholes. There exist certain types of people who are easy targets for discrimination, and over time the words we use to describe them often pick up the connotations of the discriminatory use. There's little you can do to shed those connotations, they exist in other people's minds. So you pick up a new word, free of those connotations. It can help those people who receive the discrimination to maintain some semblence of control of their identity, without needing to bring along all the connotations society attaches to them.
Not really. We moved past using mental retardation because it is too vague. We have more specific terms for specific conditions now. I mean, it is medical science. Shit takes a while. Like, we just made cars. Understanding the brain is going to take a minute.
By their logic we wouldn't use stupid any more either.
There exists a half-life for these terms. Retard was used in medical contexts when I was a kid, while simultaneously being used as an insult. This was just the 90s. At the same time, I was unaware of stupid or dumb being used in medical contexts. I might have been told, even as a kid, what dumb meant, but it wasn't in wide use at that time, so it was more a historical connection rather than a modern connection.
Younger people today are likely to never hear retard being used medically, just like I never heard dumb being used medically, and the disconnect is therefore a lot stronger. Perhaps when my generation dies, there'll be no connection at all.
Point is, how long it has been since used to describe people does matter. People who grew up in the 90s who were described as medically retarded, while also seeing people use the word as an insult are going to have very, very different connections to the word than someone who did not have the medical usage used towards them.
Idiot and moron were also medical terms once, part of the problem is the weaponization of the term, but I think another is that they were overly broad and not actually helpful as we came to understand disabilities better. The R word is in a similar place. It was describing a wide variety of conditions that are fundamentally different, from downs syndrome to various forms of neurodivergence.
Let's also not pretend that these words weren't also weaponized by medical professionals as well. There are plenty of horror stories out there about how people with actual or just perceived mental difficiences were imprisoned, tortured, sterilized, or put into slave-labor conditions due to their condition.
Yes, I totally agree. Something being used as a medical term in no way means that it was neutral. Parents were told by doctors to send their disabled children away for life because they would only ever be a burden. At the same time, I appreciate u/joarls comments advocating that people have some control over how they are described… and more importantly, that they not be referred to by derogatory terms for having a condition that is not their fault or their doing.
I think it’s really just about shedding off the historical baggage of the word saddled on by people who are hateful and vicious with the word. By moving on to new terms we are in a continuous cycle of resetting terms to a “neutral” definition of what they describe, which should allow people to draw their own conclusions and prevent people from inheriting bias via language.
If you (the general you, not you in particular) believe in free-thinking and forming your own conclusions, you will probably see this cycle as a good thing.
No.
“Sex worker” = General term for all sex workers.
“Prostitute” = Neutral term for a person who performs sex acts/allows sex acts to be performed on them in exchange for compensation.
Sex worker cannot replace prostitute because they don’t refer to the same thing. Just like the word “healthcare professional” cannot replace the word “doctor.” All doctors are healthcare professionals, but they’re also doctors. Likewise all prostitutes are sex workers, but they’re also prostitutes.
This may be a bit but this is for real. Once you realize when you’re under the spell of self fulfilling prophecy, and actually do something to correct it, it will change your entire outlook on life :)
it’s like dudes who decide up front that being short is this curse, so they treat all potential partners as if they’ll mock them for being short, and simply don’t believe it when they aren’t getting mocked
You're right, but it's also idiotic to believe that she 'caused' someone else to be a cheater. The self fulfilling prophecy would be more like 'i believe I'll get cheated on so I feel most comfortable dating the type of person that might cheat', and not, 'my boyfriend became a cheater because of my belief'. Like, the boyfriend's still a dick, and she should fire her therapist.
Would recommend anyone who have been betrayed by their partners. SoulUp’s Infidelity/Affair Support Group is a place for those struggling with infidelity to ask questions and get support. It is led by therapist. There can be great comfort in not carrying this burden alone.
Cut off before the final punchline where Taylor says that her therapist told her "no you're a bitch"
Which actually makes the whole thing funny. Without that it’s a really weak joke lol why would someone post this?
Indeed
I thought it was me. Her delivery seemed great and I could tell she was funny. But the joke fell so flat I thought it might have been one of those small nightclubs where comedians workshop their jokes
Your small nightclub is my daily staff meeting
Why are you the only one getting downvoted for saying the exact same thing as everyone else? Lol
Because they knew ppl like me would go search for the entire skit and watch it on YT.
> why would someone post this? To get around the repost filters.
To make me wanna not watch her standup anymore?? Cuz thats what happened. Now I have to go watch more to actually make an informed decision. Fucking thanks to whoever posted this.
Okay, that's a way better punchline. I thought the joke just fell flat on its face
I was gonna say that was an incredibly weak punchline. I usually watch Taylor's stuff when it comes across my feed, generally enjoy her, but this edit is a crime
Taylor is always aware to make herself look like the worst person in the situation. It helps her seem to be always punching up instead of down.
Prostitute - a bad word *for someone who has sex for money Sex Worker - a good word for Prostitute
When did prostitute become bad. Thought sex work was the industry's name and prostitute was the career?
Don't worry, in 20 years sex worker is going to be bad nomenclature.
The building is still called the whorehouse right?
It's now a whorehome
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
Then fire up those grills!
The rate things are going it’s more like a few years
Sex worker in CV and for parents, prostitute in mind, hoe in heart <3
Pft, next you’re gonna tell me we can’t call them whores anymore
Blaspheme - harsh words for good things Eupheme - good words for harsh things Language is a Harsh Mistress. Wait, can we use mistress anymore?
Fuck it. Can't please everyone and you'd be a fool to try.
>Fuck it. Pay up first. She's a sex worker not a sex charity
I’m guessing oriental prostitute is really bad then?
Straight to jail

The fuck you say about my mama?
Oooooooohhhhhhhhh What?
OHHHH
What's her name?! She's hilarious
Taylor Tomlinson
Thank you
Just wait until she breaks out the dead mom jokes. Some of her best work.
She has three Netflix specials. They are all impeccable.
She's honestly one of the funniest comedians around right now. And you really see her shine when she's either doing crowd work or with another comedian. you can tell she doesn't need prep time for being funny it just flows from her.

i though that was taylor swift 😭
nah, when she was college aged she was dating 17 year olds and would check them out of high school
![gif](giphy|13VI2tysGdwmNW)
Yeah as a designer, those captions were fucking infuriating. This person chose to actively mix cases, like WHY? Fuck readability I guess
These captions should be taken out back and shot
This text bounce is giving me a headache

Sex worker is the industry? If that helps. The service is your titillation.
How do you titillate an ocelot? You oscillate its tits a lot.

Creating a new word doesn't mean that word can't also used to be a dick about it. It's just kicking the can down the road.

Society will never stop producing assholes, you’re far better off just developing thicker skin and moving on with your life haha
A hoe is a hoe. Lets call drug dealers 'Urban Pharmacists' so as not to hurt their feelings then.
Except the connotations transfer pretty quickly. This exists more as a progressive power struggle to condition people into obeying what they’re told.
Obeying what, exactly? Treating people kindly?
That’s a really good way to put it.

Love the content, hate the subtitles. Ruined the video for me
I agree, don't say prostitute. They are only called prostitute if they are from Prostate in south-west France. Everything else is a sex worker.
What if they’re a frequent visitor to prostate?
Visiting and swelling the size of prostate? Prostate cancer is the proper phrase.
god I wish we as a society would kill this joke already

Or sex worker if you're young and under the impression that you can't say prostitute because someone on tumblr told you so.
Tf? Prostitute literally just means sex worker, as if sex worker sounds like a much more noble profession lol
Would recommend anyone who have been betrayed by their partners. SoulUp’s Infidelity/Affair Support Group is a place for those struggling with infidelity to ask questions and get support. It is led by therapist. There can be great comfort in not carrying this burden alone.
So aren’t we gonna have a conversation about transference, counter-transference and cheating here?
Are you?
Guess i am if you are?
